Getting to know Andrea Parfet

Hi there, I'm Andrea! My name is Andrea (Andy) Parfet, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kansas City, Missouri, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Hunter College. I work with adolescents and adults, specializing in anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support my clients. I have dedicated my practice to helping others find their way out of the fog, break old cycles, and write new stories. My approach I utilize evidence-based practices: 1. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): This psychotherapy technique uses eye movements or other bilateral stimulation to help people process traumatic memories and heal from distressing life experiences. 2. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are closely linked and influence each other. The goal is to help people recognize unhelpful patterns and break them down. My focus Feeling overwhelmed? Stuck? Worthless? Frustrated and confused about why you are “the way you are?” I have helped hundreds of high-achieving people find hope, understanding, and reengage in their lives by blending CBT and EMDR. My communication style Getting into therapy can be overwhelming; I believe it doesn’t have to be. I provide understanding, kindness, solutions, and a healthy dose of humor. I believe the therapeutic relationship sets the stage for healing and am eager and excited to join you on your therapy journey. My journey to mental healthcare After struggling with my own depression and anxiety throughout youth, I have dedicated my practice to helping others find their way out of the fog.
